Large crowds have turned out to mark the final day of the Royal Welsh Show at Llanelwedd showground.

A popular focal point of this year's show has been a new high-tech rural crime fighting machine introduced by Dyfed-Powys Police.

The tractor with police markings and flashing blue lights was given a makeover to use during the summer show season in Wales.

In other crime related news Welsh Black cattle breeders are reeling after a life-sized statue of a bull was vandalised during the Royal Welsh Show.

The 1.5-tonne bronze was designed for the Welsh Black Cattle Society (WBCS) and installed in Builth Wells in 2005.

During this week’s show its tail was ripped off and was later recovered by Dyfed-Powys Police, who are now appealing for witnesses.

“It’s very sad that someone should cause such unnecessary damage to a prestigious statue that has brought much pleasure to local people and visitors,” said Beth Rees, WBCS council member for Denbighshire.
